Reference: user roles

Roles define what users can do in an account and have two levels: account and organization. Account-level roles grant access to the full account, while organization-level roles only grant access to organizations.

Assigning roles

Use a least privilege approach when assigning roles. Grant admin-level roles to users who will manage an account or an organization. Grant requestor or auditor roles to everyone else. For security, use the the Service Requestor role with the Zero Touch PKI API.
